===Notable applications===
−
== Before you use ==
+
* [[Homebrew Channel]] - The homebrew loader created by [[Team Twiizers]].
+
* [[Wiiload]] - A TCP loader for the Homebrew Channel. Allows .elf and .dol files to be sent to the Wii.
+
* [[Homebrew Browser]] - A Wii Shop Channel-like application for homebrew applications.
+
* [[Wii Linux]] - A Linux distribution created for the Wii based on [http://www.debian.org/ Debian].
−
* As with all unsigned code in the homebrew community all applications may be dangerous if used incorrectly; for support with it, please contact the developer of the program.
−
==Note to developers==
+
==Developing applications==
−
*It is important to include a video autodetect routine and a way to return to the loader or restart. Go to the [[Developer Tips]] page for more information.
+
Development of Wii [[Homebrew apps|homebrew applications]] is both fun and challenging. If you want to develop homebrew for the Wii, you will need some tools.
−
*With the release of the Homebrew Channel please include an [[Homebrew Channel#Adding an Icon|icon.png]] and [[Homebrew Channel#Adding Text|meta.xml]] file for easy installation for end users.
−
*There are also some [[Development Tools]] you may need.
−
*It's probably a good idea to include the [[Template:HomebrewPossiblyDangerous|Homebrew Possibly Dangerous]] and maybe the [[Template:HomebrewDangerous|Homebrew Dangerous if Misused]] templates on your homebrew page (add <nowiki>{{HomebrewPossiblyDangerous}}</nowiki>, and maybe <nowiki>{{HomebrewDangerous}}</nowiki> at the top of the page), for safety reasons.
−
*To keep things tidy, instead of a folder on the root of the sd card, put it in a folder called data, so fat0:\data\XXXXX
−
==PC-Based Utilities==
+
===Developing===
−
''Main article: [[List of homebrew applications (PC utilities)]]''
+
* You can use [[DevkitPro]] to develop applications. Tutorials for setting up DevkitPro are available for [[Devkitppc setup|Windows]], [[Devkitppc setup (Linux)|Linux]], and [[Devkitppc setup (Mac OS X)|Mac OS X]].
−
{{:List of homebrew applications (PC utilities)}}
+
* If you would like to learn how to code, there is a [[Programming in C++|C++ tutorial]] available.
+
* You should read [[Developer tips|developer tips]] before starting to develop to learn about standards and essential code.
+
* The [[List of development tools|list of development tools]] contains many code libraries and resources that are useful for developing.
−
==Loaders==
+
===Releasing===
−
''Main article: [[List of homebrew applications (loaders)]]''
+
* If you would like to create a page for your application while developing it, create it in your user namespace and link to it on the [[List of homebrew applications (in development)]] page. You can move it to the article namespace when it is released.
−
{{:List of homebrew applications (loaders)}}
+
* It is strongly recommended to create icon.png and meta.xml files for your application to make it compatible with the [[Homebrew Channel]].
−
+
* When your application is ready to be released, you can create a page for your application in the article namespace. Make sure to add the {{tl|infobox homebrewapp}} template and fill it in as much as you can.
−
==Emulators==
+
* If you would like, you can host your application here on wiibrew by [[Special:Upload|uploading]] it. Otherwise, you can upload it somewhere else and link to it. Please avoid sites like Rapidshare, as they are slow and a hassle to download from.
